The eighth finalist of the 2024 edition of the Australian Grand Slam suffers from a crack in the tendon of his right elbow.
No Australian Open for Arthur Cazaux. The Frenchman was forced to withdraw from the first Grand Slam tournament of the season due to an elbow injury. His package was announced in a press release, published last night.
Since his round of 16 in Melbourne in 2024, where he notably eliminated the Dane Holger Rune, the native of Montpellier has not been able to string together tournaments, having regularly suffered from physical problems.

Elbow injury
This time, it is the elbow which prevents Arthur Cazaux from playing, since the press release specifies that he suffers from a “small crack in the tendon of the right elbow”. An injury which would have appeared in Brisbane, as the Frenchman indicated.
“I’ve done everything possible to be able to play in Melbourne, but it’s just too tight. […] Obviously, I am very disappointed not to be able to participate in one of the biggest tournaments of the season, especially since it is a place that is particularly close to my heart, where I have good memories. he expressed in the press release.
The Frenchman therefore favors reason and will return to Europe to receive treatment, before truly launching his season. His package for the Australian Open benefits the lucky loser Belgian Alexander Blockx, who will face Portuguese qualifier Jamie Faria in the first round on Sunday.
